Stylish steel fencing
has been installed around a new Staffordshire cemetery, the first in a number
to provide much-needed additional burial plots nationwide.
Mesh fencing
manufacturer Zaun Ltd has supplied 180m of its Gemini convex fencing, installed
by fellow Wolverhampton business Steelway Fensecure around the new cemetery in
nearby Essington.
West Midlands
headquartered plc Respects Bereavement Services is developing a number of
cemeteries across the country to provide additional burial space to the general
public.
Group CEO Christian
Hipkiss said: “The Essington multi-faith cemetery will eventually provide
20,000 burial plots in 26 acres for the mixed religious communities who are
currently struggling to find suitable provision.”
Zaun Gemini, the
fencing chosen, comes in four curved toppings – wave, convex, concave and surf
– on top of Duo6 or Duo8 twin wire mesh fencing. Steelway advised the
customer that convex would be the best option due to the sloping nature of the
site.
Steelway’s
Steve Taylor said: “The convex topping gives a more aesthetic finish to this
sensitive site. We’re hoping to move onto successive cemeteries across
the country with Respects Bereavement Services to provide this essential growth
in available burial plots."
